✨ Why Choose LifeStealV?

- Modern & Reliable: Built for modern Minecraft versions (1.21+) with clean, asynchronous code where it matters, like the built-in update checker.
- All-in-One Solution: No need for other plugins. LifeStealV handles gameplay, administration, and customization in one complete package.
⭐ Core Features
⚔️ Gameplay Mechanics
- Classic Lifesteal: Kill a player to steal one of their hearts and add it to your own health bar.
- Configurable Death Penalties: Lose hearts on natural deaths, or disable it completely.
- Player Elimination: When a player runs out of hearts, they are eliminated. You can configure this to be a server ban or force them into spectator mode.
- Heart Withdrawal: Players can use /withdraw to turn one of their hearts back into a physical item, which they can then trade or save for later.
Items & Recipe Editor
- Craftable Hearts: Players can craft Heart items to consume them and regain a heart.
- Craftable Revive Items: A powerful, expensive "Heart of Revival" item is the key to bringing players back from elimination.
- GUI RECIPE EDITOR! No more YAML editing! Admins can use /lifesteal editrecipe <recipe_name> to open a GUI and change the crafting recipes for both the Heart and Revive items simply by dragging and dropping items. Changes are applied instantly! (Here you should add a screenshot of the recipe editor GUI)
️ Immersive Revival System
- Revival GUI: Right-clicking a Heart of Revival or typing /revive opens an interactive menu showing the heads of all currently eliminated players.
- One-Click Revive: Simply click on a player's head in the GUI to consume your item and bring them back to life.
- Paginated Menu: The GUI automatically creates multiple pages if you have many eliminated players, ensuring the list is always manageable. (Here you should add a screenshot of the revival GUI)
Admin & Quality-of-Life Features
- 100% Translatable: Every single message sent to players can be changed in the messages.yml file.
- Admin Give Command: Use /giveheart to easily spawn custom items for yourself or other players.
- Built-in Update Checker: Automatically checks for new versions on SpigotMC and notifies operators in-game, with the Spigot ID integrated for ease of use.
- Reload Command: Use /lifesteal reload to reload all configuration files without restarting the server.
